All Bets On (discontinued)

All bets on

"ELEANOR!!!!!" I wince. I hate when Bridget uses my full name, she knows I hate it too.

I whip around and smack her with my hair. That should show her. "Ouch! What was that for!!!" "I've told you time after time not to call me Eleanor!!! It's Ella!!!! "Well we need to get to class or would you like to be late again?" I trudge after her to anatomy. My 'all-time favorite class'. (Catch the sarcasm there?) we walk in and the bell rings. One class, then I can go home.

I take the test that I didn't study for because my brother decided to take my book and run through the sprinkler with it and get it so wet if I touched it I could ruin it. He may or may not have a black eye now...

I turn in the test then go to my locker, grab my stuff I need for the weekend, then go to my car.

I drive home, not really in the mood for anything. I check the voicemail on the phone and find nothing. I go to my computer and check my email and refresh and almost have a heart attack.

Hi Ella!

My name is Bart and I'm the founder of magcon. I've seen many of your vines and YouTube videos. They are amazing! I, along with everyone associated with magcon would like to invite you to Orlando's magcon, December 6-7. Hotels paid for, you will just need to take care of transportation.

Please try and get back to me by November 25 at the latest.

Thanks! Bart

I read and reread it over and over again, not believing it. Finally when I realized it was real, I grabbed my phone so fast it flew out of my hand and landed on the floor. Screen down. I screamed. I ran to my phone and crouched down. I picked up my phone but didn't turn it over, I was too scared.

Slowly, I turned it over, it was cracked in the corner, but not too bad. I breathed a sigh of relief. I quickly call Bridget and I tell her everything. Then she says she got the same email!!!! We screamed together and my brother comes in. "WOULD YOU STOP SCREAMING?!?" "Your the one screaming." I tell him calmly. He looks like he could explode. He walks out and I laugh.

I put the phone on speaker so I can keep talking as I forward the email to my mom asking if I could go. Then I went on twitter and logged in. I went through everything then checked to see if I had any new followers or mentions. 24 new followers. I looked to see how many I had: 600,001. I FINALLY REACHED 600k!!! "Bridget!!! I reached 600k followers on twitter!!! Only 399,999 followers till 1 million!!!" "Omg no way!!!!" I tweeted:

"Itsellasworld: OMG I REACHED 600k followers thank you so much! Follow spree later!"

I logged out and checked email and saw my mom replied:

You can go but you will need to drive. It will be about a 13 hour drive. So you will not be going to school on that Thursday. So you will need to get the homework before.

Mom

I responded to Bart and he responded with his number so if I ever needed to reach him I would get a fast response.

"Bridget. Bridget. BRIDGET. I CAN GO TO MAGCON!!!!!" "Yay!!!! Dude we should drive down together if I can go! I'm still waiting for my mom to text back."

My brother comes in with duct tape. "Ok I'll stop screaming! You know, I was thinking of taking you to magcon with me but now, you snooze you lose!" I flip him off and go back to my computer. He chucks the duct tape at me but misses. "Really? You missed? I thought you played baseball! Even if you didn't play baseball your a 13 year old boy! You shouldn't miss!"
